I'm very fussy about my teachers. The teachers from old school I still refer to as "Sir" and "Miss", despite the fact they say it's fine if I use their first names. Likewise at university. I also do all the door holding open etc.

I'm also a massive prude on the whole "objectification" thing and on how one should date in general.

If I knew the adult while I was young or they were my Teacher/Coach i'll still use Ms. or Mr.

If it's someone like my supervisor or a fellow adult I meet from now on, i'll refer to as their first name.

I guess it's just a respect thing for people I knew while I was younger, I still use "Ms." to refer to my Kindergarden teacher dispite her not teaching me for the last 15 years. I'll also use it if I don't the person's name.
